OP was probably saved by that final exam score. Judging from the opening from the text, it seems they were not putting much effort into the class. Sometimes a teacher needs to be stupid for a student to realize they can be smarter.

Yeah, that was me in school. Never did homework, but aced the tests. A few teachers made me take tests sitting next to them because they thought I was cheating.

The fine line between being put on a podium for being gifted (and thus getting bullied), being severely mistrusted because your genius shows up inconsistently (and not getting diagnosed ADHD), and getting victimized by a teacher because you unintentionally brought light on their own mediocrity (because you're autistic).

Personal experience says there is no line there. It can certainly be both -_-

Well if you give the teacher nothing to properly judge you by, it’s not unexpected for them to judge you incorrectly.

Maybe if they took 30 seconds to explain to me why I still needed trivial busywork instead of just failing me when I got 100 on every test because the material wasn't at all challenging, I would have done better 🤷🏼‍♀️

Fucking people over when they're objectively right definitely does not improve engagement or effort.
